"bzr checkout lp:exaile" fails (NotImplementedError)

[David Wagner]

Running "bzr checkout lp:exaile" gives me an error; full error message below. I'm on Fedora 13, with the bzr-2.1.2-1.fc13.x86_64 rpm (the latest available on F13). This might be related to bug #558343. Yes, I have a http proxy configured.

$ bzr checkout lp:exaile

I noticed a reference that bzr 2.2b3 might fix this problem. I was not able to find a bzr 2.2 update on Fedora (my distribution) in updates-testing or rawhide. As far as I can tell, I'm running the latest version of bzr that seems to be available on Fedora.

Hi David. You could do this to get 2.2:
bzr branch lp:bzr
ln -s bzr/bzr ~/local/bin/bzr
(or somewhere similar)

That would run without the C extensions so be a bit slower, but it
would work to branch from LP, and you could then use your system bzr
to work on the project.

Bzr 2.2 is in late beta at this point, we're happy with it but
wouldn't expect it to be in the main repo for Fedora etc.

Cheers,
Rob
